The
Colour Brick to celebrate my nephew's adoption is completed. I am really happy with pretty much everything. I love the robot flannel on the back, the rainbow thread and the not perfect but absolutely my best binding to date. I have enough of the flannel left to make pajamas for D and maybe a pair for G too.

My amazing
sister and her wife paid me more than what I asked for when I commissioned the quilt and I am thinking a little fabric splurge on something really really special is in order. Inspired yet again by
Stitched in Color , I think I may finally splurge on some

I love that quilting detail with the rainbow thread. Hope your little guy is feeling okay after that spill.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was a bit worried about how the variagted thread would work but I love it. My little guy is really puffy and bruised but nothing is broken. I think he almost likes the way it looks.
DeleteThe brick design quilt is lovely. I hope that poor little face is better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you! His face looks much worse today but that is the bruising, he was pretty sore on day 1 but now he is running around like his usual, crazy, preschooler self.
DeleteRainbow thread is by far my thread of choice for quilting--it gives such a great dimension to the quilt!! I love the brick pattern, I've never seen that before. You did a great job and I'm sure your nephew will love it!
